We are Black Pants Game Studio!

Black Pants Studio is an independent game studio rooted in Kassel and Berlin. We are a team of two programmers, one animator and one comic artist. We are passionate about games with new and innovative mechanics, a handcrafted feeling, and a one-of-a-kind look. We are always open for commissions and work with a huge pool of friends and partners.

Our own Scape Engine is used to develop desktop and console games such as Tiny & Big and On Rusty Trails. Built from scratch, it has been constantly improved since 2002.

Distribution Partners!

Sebastian Stamm is a Comic Artist and Illustrator. At Black Pants, he draws, creates the characters, is responsible for everything 2D, contributes his visual style to the game and is one of the company’s CEOs.

Tobias Bilgeri is responsible for the creation of the characters and worlds featured in some of the games of Black Pants like “About Love, Hate and the Other Ones” and “Blown Away”. Due he is also responsible for gamedesign, he is passionate about developing new looks and settings which fit into the game mechanics and storyworlds of our games.

The Scape Engine. A stable foundation to give our games that tailor-made feeling. Doing it all by ourselves means we can tweak every nut and bolt that is important to the final experience. We like it nutty, we like it bolty – it’s how we roll…ty.

Christian Niemand is a master in juggling mountains of paper. At Black Pants, he is responsible for game programming and marketing.

Johannes Spohr is the main developer of the Scape Engine, his umpteenth engine since starting a demo scene ‘career’ in the 90s. Is very slow at writing fast code. Also cares about release quality, gives very polite tech support, and keeps an eye out for co-workers skimping on commit messages – lazy youngsters!
